True, the type of insulation installed depends on several factors like your climate. But radiant barrier is ideal for many attics, as it helps your home’s ability to reflect (rather than absorb) energy from the sun.

Like admin said above Radiant barriers are great for knocking down attic temperatures. We have observed 25 degree reduction in attic temperatures after installation of radiant barriers in southern climates.

Cellulose is approximately three times denser then fiberglass. This can help deaden the sound through walls and between floor levels.

I can’t wait to do this this weekend in my attic. The a/c constantly stays on in these dcrazy hot temps here in Louisville. Hopefully its cool enough in my attic right now (11/2/11). My buddy and I will use walkie talkies with the loader and me doing the hard part on my knees in the attic. Actually I don’t want to to do this now because its gonna hurt the knees but I have to because my wife will hurt me more than my knees will hurt. Oh well can’rt wait for lower bills; everybody says it makes a huge difference to do it yourself, blown in insualtions and the loader machine is free rental from Home Depot w/insul. purchase

Great article. It should be noted that another important step before installing insulation is air sealing. Sealing all the gaps so that air does not move through the insulation will make the insulation more effective.

Insulation over a non-conditioned space is not necessary at all. If you are trying to temper the heat in those areas, your best bang for the buck is to go with a radiant barrier foil. If you are trying to keep the whole garage cooler, you'll want to add a radiant barrier to any walls catching direct sunlight (this includes the garage door). With the roof, as long as a radiant barrier is properly installed (with an air gap) then it works on ANY roofing system. And yes, partial coverage with a radiant barrier works. Take a look at this video to learn more about partial coverage and benefits: http://www.atticfoil.com/video-faq-partial-radiant-barrier-coverage.htm
